It was great fun to revisit the show, though the image quality wasn't the greatest. Funny how mainstream Joe's designs look today--at the time they were unique.

That one is in 10 parts just as it aired. I also found the entire Stevie and Zoya serial, this one came from the Liquid Extract, so all the episodes are back to back. The same goes for the ESPERANTO FAMILY, all 6 eps in one sitting. Sadly, there only seems to be one segment of El Hombre up at this time.

Better than a good bit of what was actually shown on LTV. Surprises me that MTV weren't into the idea. It looks hip, and funny with the right amount of retro quirkiness to really gel.

I may be wrong in that, but at any rate... that would be pretty awesome. I have copies of the entire Stevie Washington serial, as well as the Specialists, I also have all of the Pee Wee Playhouse episodes so that would also cover El Hombre, Mr Bloody Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842980536402161563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810302126094349455.post-35892025006239394642011-03-05T19:07:03.098-08:002011-03-05T19:07:03.098-08:00I'm with you on that!

The Specialists was easily my favorite Liquid TV regular, even more so than Aeon Flux. I also enjoyed his El Hombre shorts that were featured on Pee Wee's playhouse, although I didn't make the coorelation that it was him at the time. I have always wished he'd make some sort of DVD that compiled all of Mr Bloody Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842980536402161563noreply@blogger.com
